RESUMO
Although improvement of pelvic trauma care has been successful in decreasing mortality rates in major trauma centers, such changes have not been implemented in low-resource environments such as low-middle-income countries (LMICs). This review details the evaluation and management of pelvic ring fractures and recommends improvements for trauma care in low-resource environments. Prehospital management revolves around basic life support techniques. Application of non-invasive pelvic circumferential compression devices, such as bed sheet or pelvic binders, can be performed as early as the scene of the accident. Upon arrival at the emergency department, rapid clinical evaluation and immediate resuscitation should be performed. Preperitoneal pelvic packing and external fixation devices have been considered as important first-line management tools to achieve bleeding control in hemodynamically unstable patients. After patient stabilization, immediate referral is mandated if the hospital does not have an orthopedic surgeon or facilities to perform complex pelvic/acetabular surgery. Telemedicine platforms have emerged as one of the key solutions for informing decision-making. However, unavailable referral systems and inaccessible transportation systems act as significant barriers in LMICs. Tendencies toward more "old-fashioned" protocols and conservative treatments are often justified especially for minimally displaced fractures. But when surgery is needed, it is important to visualize the fracture site to obtain and maintain a good reduction in the absence of intraoperative imaging. Minimizing soft tissue damage, reducing intraoperative blood loss, and minimizing duration of surgical interventions are vital when performing pelvic surgery in a limited intensive care setting.

PURPOSE: Pelvic ring fractures (PRFs) management needs adequate facilities and human resources. However, the prehospital ambulance management role in Indonesia is insufficient. Many hospitals have limited resources that necessitate patients to be referred to higher trauma centers. This study aims to describe the state of PRFs management at a level 1 trauma center in limited-resource country. METHODS: We conducted retrospective studies of PRFs management from 2011 to 2021 at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. We analyzed patient's management flow from injury, referral process, initial to definitive treatment, mortality, and Majeed functional score. RESULTS: From 109 patients, 30.3% were non-referrals that came without ambulance, while 69.7% were referrals using an ambulance. All non-referral patients came without pelvic binder with 54.5% unstable hemodynamic, while 35.5% of the referrals came with unstable hemodynamic and 72.4% had pelvic binder. Median time for non-referrals reaching our hospital is 12.5 h. Unlike local referrals, 75% of regional and 85.7% of national referrals general improvement had to be improved before being referred. Polytrauma cases were 33.9% with 12 days mean interval to definitive treatment. Mortality rate in this study was 13.8%. During post-operative follow-up with a mean of 4 years, 83% of patients could be followed up and reported 93 median Majeed score. CONCLUSION: The management of PRFs at level 1 trauma center in limited-resource country shows a mortality rate of 13.8% through various limitations such as unimplemented ambulance prehospital management, number of patients who were referred without pelvic binder applied, and the long waiting interval for definitive treatment.

PURPOSE: The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is one of the most common patient-reported outcome measures used for low back pain (LBP). Since it was not available in Indonesian, this study aimed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of ODI to Indonesian and evaluate its psychometric properties. METHODS: We performed a cross-cultural adaptation of ODI v2.1a into Indonesian language (ODI-ID) and determined its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, measurement error, confirmatory factor analysis, floor-ceiling effect, and construct validity by hypotheses testing of its correlation with Short Form-36 (SF-36) and visual analog scale (VAS). Adults (> 17 years of age) diagnosed with low back pain were included. RESULTS: A total of 96 subjects were included in this study. The original ODI questionnaire was translated into an Indonesian version and showed a good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.90) and good reliability (intraclass correlation = 0.97). The standard error of measurement values of 3.35 resulted in a minimal detectable change score of 9. Nine out of nine (100%) a priori hypotheses were met, confirming the construct validity. A strong correlation was found with the physical component of SF-36 (0.77 and 0.76 for pain and physical function, respectively) and VAS (0.79). Confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a poor but significant fit to the original one-factor structure and the static-dynamic two-factor structure. Floor-ceiling effects were not found. CONCLUSIONS: The Indonesian version of ODI displayed similar reliability, validity, and psychometric characteristics to the original ODI. This questionnaire will be a suitable instrument for assessing LBP-related disability for Indonesian-speaking patients.

PURPOSE: To investigate (1) the prevalence, size, and location of acetabular ossicles in general population; (2) differentiation between the characteristic types of acetabular ossicles: unfused ossification centers (true os acetabuli), rim fractures, labral calcifications and loose bodies; and (3) correlation between acetabular ossicles, and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with symptoms. METHODS: Patients aged 16 to 60 years who underwent abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) with non-orthopaedic indications in 2016 and patients who underwent hip arthroscopy surgery from 2010 to 2016 in our institution were included for asymptomatic and symptomatic groups, respectively. Two investigators evaluated CT images to find the prevalence, size, location of acetabular ossicles, and relationship with symptoms and FAI. We correlated them with types of ossicles. RESULTS: This study included 5684 patients with 11368 hips (2790 male and 2894 female; mean age, 44.3 years) for asymptomatic group, and 264 patients with 289 hips (171 male and 93 female; mean age, 34.4 years) for symptomatic group. The prevalence of ossicles in symptomatic and asymptomatic groups was 8.65% (25/289) and 3.33% (378/11,368), respectively. The distribution of ossicles types in general population were labral calcifications (55.09%), rim fractures (35.73%), unfused ossification center (1.24%), and loose bodies (7.94%). Labral calcification had the smallest size and mostly was asymptomatic. Rim fracture was correlated with FAI in general (83.33%; P < .001) but not with any types of FAI. Size of ossicles was related with symptom (895.28 vs 103.64 mm3; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of acetabular ossicles in general population are 3.46%, with significantly higher prevalence of acetabular ossicles were found in symptomatic group (8.65% vs 3.33%). Size of acetabular ossicles was significantly associated with hip pain. Labral calcification was the most common type of acetabular ossicles. Significant relationship was found between rim fracture and FAI but not with any specific types of FAI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Retrospective comparative study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes and change of ROM between patients with adhesive capsulitis of the hip (ACH) who underwent arthroscopic treatment and those who underwent conservative treatment at a minimum follow-up of two years. METHODS: From 2010 to 2017, 35 hips (32 patients, 10 men and 22 women) diagnosed with primary ACH were enrolled and followed up for a minimum of two years. Arthroscopic surgery was performed in 17 patients (20 hips, operation group), and conservative treatment was performed in 15 patients (15 hips, control group). Outcomes were measured with the visual analogue scale (VAS), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale, modified Harris hip score (mHHS), and degree of range of motion (ROM). RESULTS: The patients in the operation group were younger than those in the control group (mean age, 36.6 vs 46.2, p = 0.032). The VAS scores were significantly lower in the operation group than in the control group at two weeks, six weeks, and 24 months of follow-up. Moreover, the operation group showed a trend of better values of UCLA and mHHS, with no statistical differences during the entire follow-up; these patients also achieved greater improvements of external rotation at six weeks' evaluation. CONCLUSION: The patients with ACH in the two groups shows improvement of pain, UCLA scale, mHHS, and ROM at a minimum two year follow-up. Based on this study, we do not routinely recommend surgical treatment. However, patients with intractable pain and severe limitation of ROM are possible candidate of arthroscopic capsular release.

INTRODUCTION: Critical-sized defect (CSD) is one of the most challenging cases for orthopaedic surgeons. We aim to explore the therapeutic potential of the combination of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), hydroxyapatite (HA) granules, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and internal fixation for treating CSDs. METHODS: This was a translational study performed during the period of January 2012 to 2016. Subjects were patients diagnosed with CSDs who had previously failed surgical attempts. They were treated with the combination of autologous BM-MSCs, HA granules, BMP-2, and mechanical stabilization. Post-operative pain level, functional outcome, defect volume, and radiological healing were evaluated after a minimum follow-up of 12 months. RESULTS: A total of six subjects were recruited in this study. The pain was significantly reduced in all cases; with the decrease of mean preoperative visual analog scale (VAS) from 4 ± 2.2 to 0 after six month follow-up. Clinical functional outcome percentage increased significantly from 25 ± 13.7 to 70.79 ± 19.5. Radiological healing assessment using Tiedemann score also showed an increase from 0.16 ± 0.4 to 8 ± 3 at one year follow-up. No immunologic nor neoplastic side effects were found. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of autologous BM-MSCs, HA granules, and BMP-2 is safe and remains to be a good option for the definitive treatment for CSD with previous failed surgical attempts. Further studies with a larger sample size are required to be done.

BACKGROUND: To compare two methods of preoperative traction (Cotrel traction exercises and skull tongs femoral traction) in severe scoliosis treatment. METHODS: We collected retrospective data of severe (>80°) and rigid scoliosis patients who underwent preoperative traction before correction surgery from 2016 to 2018. The first group consisted of patients who underwent Cotrel traction exercises and second group underwent continuous-progressively increasing Skull Tongs Femoral Traction (STFT) traction. Posterior fusion was performed in all patients. Intraoperative parameters (blood loss, operation time and level instrumented) and radiologic change (initial, post-traction and postoperative Cobb Angle) was evaluated and analyzed. RESULTS: Thirty consecutive case of severe and rigid scoliosis were included (15 in each group). Despite Cotrel group having larger initial Cobb angle, the amount of post traction correction was statistically similar in both groups (16.4° and 11.8°, in STFT and Cotrel group respectively). Mean traction duration was 14.0 days for Cotrel group and 12 days for STFT. There were also no significant differences in postoperative curve correction rate between two groups, although STFT group had a slightly higher correction rate (69.3° vs 55.0°). No major/neurologic complication were found in our series. CONCLUSIONS: Both preoperative traction methods were found safe and beneficial to reduce preoperative curve degree before definitive scoliosis correction surgery. Although, no statistical difference were found between two methods, STFT may provide better correction rate. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.
RESUMO
During the past decade, there was an increasing interest in orthopedic research in Indonesia. Therefore we aimed to investigate the profile of Indonesian orthopedic trend publication from 2010 to 2019. Systematic research was conducted to identify all orthopedic articles authored by Indonesian orthopedic surgeons. Article details (number of authors, authors' affiliation, publishing journal), type of author's affiliation, affiliate collaboration, study field, type, and level of evidence (LOE) were recorded and evaluated. Publishing journal metric and author h-index were also recorded. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Two hundred and twenty articles were included in our study. Clinical studies were the most common article type, followed by case reports and basic science. Among clinical articles, therapeutic studies were found significantly more frequent. On the other hand, economic studies were not found in this study period. The most popular field was oncology, followed by knee and spine. The average number of authors per article was 5.23 with a total of 205 individuals who had contributed during this decade. University hospital was the most common affiliation found and single-center study was the most common affiliate collaboration. The most common level of evidence was level V (case reports). Eighty-seven specific publishing journals were identified. More than 42% of the articles were published in journals with SJR between 0.25 and 0.50. The average author h-index was 3.56 (0-7). Although there was an increasing trend and quantity of publications among Indonesian authors, most articles had level 5 evidence (case reports) and the quality of publishing journals was mostly Q3 with a low-moderate SJR. Improvement of the article's quality and institutional collaboration will be needed for future contribution in global orthopedic society.
RESUMO
AIMS: The aim of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of Oxford Hip Score (OHS) to Indonesian, and to evaluate its psychometric properties. METHODS: We performed a cross-cultural adaptation of Oxford Hip Score into Indonesian language (OHS-ID) and determined its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, measurement error, floor-ceiling effect, responsiveness, and construct validity by hypotheses testing of its correlation with Harris Hip Score (HHS), vsual analogue scale (VAS), and Short Form-36 (SF-36). Adults (> 17 years old) with chronic hip pain (osteoarthritis or osteonecrosis) were included. RESULTS: A total of 125 patients were included, including 50 total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients with six months follow-up. The OHS questionnaire was translated into Indonesian and showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89) and good reliability (intraclass correlation = 0.98). The standard error of measurement value of 2.11 resulted in minimal detectable change score of 5.8. Ten out of ten (100%) a priori hypotheses were met, confirming the construct validity. A strong correlation was found with two subscales of SF-36 (pain and physical function), HHS (0.94), and VAS (-0.83). OHS-ID also showed good responsiveness for post-THA series. Floor and ceiling effect was not found. CONCLUSION: The Indonesian version of OHS showed similar reliability and validity with the original OHS. This questionnaire will be suitable to assess chronic hip pain in Indonesian-speaking patients. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(9):765-772.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can lead to severe deformity. However, early detection and treatment can prevent its progression. Surgical instrumentation for scoliosis treatment has evolved from Harrington instrumentation to pedicle screws. However, there are still some concerns about the efficacy and long-term effects of pedicle screw fixation, and the clinical and radiographic outcomes of surgical treatment for severe AIS (>90°) by posterior spinal fusion alone need to be established. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Eight patients with severe and rigid idiopathic scoliosis were recruited for this study. All surgeries were performed by one senior spine surgeon between 2015 and 2018. Free hand technique, intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM), and intraoperative fluoroscopy to assess the screw position was performed. DISCUSSION: Severe scoliosis results in a complex three-dimensional spinal deformity that often requires correction in multiple planes. Mean major coronal correction rate was 67% (45-80%). No major complications occurred during the perioperative period and after one year follow up. CONCLUSION: Pedicle screws provide three-dimensional deformity correction. There were no complications other than the low-grade late implant-associated infections. Posterior spinal fusion with pedicle screw-only instrumentation obtains a good and stable correction for severe scoliosis.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Although many clinical studies have assessed the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in knee osteoarthritis, evidence on their efficacy remains unclear owing to heterogeneity of cell entity and concomitant procedures. PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of culture-expanded MSCs in knee osteoarthritis in terms of clinical outcome and cartilage repair via meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) without adjuvant surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Meta-analysis. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Scopus were searched from inception to December 31, 2018. RCTs with culture-expanded MSCs for treating knee osteoarthritis were included. Studies with adjuvant surgery or cell concentrate were excluded. Quality was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration risk-of-bias tool. For meta-analysis, data on clinical outcomes were measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and data on cartilage repair were measured using the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS); categorization related to improvement was extracted. RESULTS: Six RCTs (203 patients) were included. Two studies were deemed to have a low risk of bias. In pooled analysis, the only significant difference was in the VAS score (mean difference, -13.55; 95% CI, -22.19 to -4.9). In cumulative pain analysis with VAS and WOMAC pain scores, there was significant improvement after treatment (standardized mean difference, -0.54; 95% CI, -0.85 to -0.23). There was no significant difference in cartilage repair assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (standardized mean difference, 0.11; 95% CI, -0.51 to 0.73), WORMS (standardized mean difference, 1.68; 95% CI -14.84 to 18.21), or categorical results (odds ratio, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.32-7.59). CONCLUSION: Intra-articular injection of culture-expanded MSCs without adjuvant surgery can improve pain for patients experiencing knee osteoarthritis at short-term follow-up (6-12 months). However, evidence regarding function and cartilage repair remains limited.

INTRODUCTION: Both gluteal abscess and sacral tuberculosis are rare entities in spinal tuberculosis cases. Even in endemic country, this atypical presentation may be the cause of delayed diagnosis and treatment. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 51-year-old woman was admitted with painless massive lump on both of her thighs that have been enlarging for the past 6 months. She had a history of previous tuberculosis treatment. From the MRI examination submuscular gluteal abscess, which was an extension of the sacral tuberculosis, were found. Open debridement and biopsy were performed, which confirmed the suspicion of tuberculosis. Oral anti tuberculosis drugs were administered after. There was no recurrence and complication at the final follow up. DISCUSSION: Cold abscess formation is common in spine tuberculosis however the formation of gluteal abscess as the extension of sacral tuberculosis is rare. Although MRI's specificity in determining the underlying cause is poor, it has a great role not only determining the location and size of the lesion, but also to describe anatomical pathophysiology of the abscess dissemination from sacral tuberculosis. CONCLUSION: Despite the limitation of the study and the rarity of this case, tuberculosis should be made as the main differential diagnosis for atypical sacral lesion that occurs with submuscular gluteal abscess.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: In performing surgery for fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum, various surgical approaches have been introduced with their own advantages and drawbacks. The extensile nature of ilioinguinal approach gives excellent exposure but was related to wound healing problems. Modified stoppa has a higher difficulty and poses a risk for neurovascular injury. In this study, we elaborate our experience using the Modified Stoppa approach with additional lateral window while adding few modifications to simplify the procedure and facilitate future implant removal. METHODS: A prospective-retrospective cohort involving 30 anterior pelvic ring and/or anterior column acetabulum fracture patients were conducted from 2012-2016. Fifteen cases were prospectively treated using the modified approach since 2014, while the remaining fifteen cases that were treated using Ilioinguinal approach were retrospectively reviewed. Intraoperative parameters such as blood loss, duration of surgery, quality of reduction (Matta) and postoperative functional outcome (Majeed and Hannover score) at 12 months period were recorded and evaluated by a blinded reviewer. RESULT: There were no significant differences between the two groups in mean age, sex and fracture type. The mean blood loss in the MIPO group were 325 ± 225 mL versus 710.67 ± 384.51 mL in the control group (p = 0.002). Duration of surgery were 149.33 ± 91.92 minutes in MIPO group versus 235.71 ± 65.79 minutes in ilioinguinal group (p = 0.014). There were no significant differences noted between the two groups in the quality of reduction and postoperative functional outcome, either by using Majeed or Hannover pelvic score. No complications were found after a 12-months follow up period. Two modified cases already had their implant removed and during the procedure, fibrotic tissue were minimal making the implant removal was less complicated and easier. CONCLUSIONS: Modified stoppa and lateral window technique can be used as a safe and effective alternative approach for anterior pelvic ring fracture and/or anterior column acetabulum fracture. This approach decreased the duration of surgery and blood loss without compromising the quality of reduction and functional outcome in patients.
RESUMO
Iatrogenic or incidental dural tear is a relatively common complication in lumbar decompression surgery. Although mostly there are no changes that occurred in long-term result following an incidental durotomy, the sequelae are not always benign especially when the herniated nerve root is involved. Preservation and tissue handling is paramount in order to prevent further injury. Two cases of dural tear with herniated nerve root complicating the lumbar decompression surgery are presented. Direct watertight repair was performed using the preservation and tissue handling concept. Assessing the relative size between the dural tear and the root mass is the key in determining whether enlargement of tear is needed. Whenever feasible, the tear will not be enlarged. Opening the vent by using a suture anchor and manually repositioning the nerve root with a fine instrument is the key for an atraumatic handling of the herniated nerve root. Clinical and neurophysiology examination was performed postoperatively and no further neurologic deficit occurred despite the iatrogenic injury. Although some debate on a few intraoperative and postoperative details still persists, tissue handling and preservation concept should be applied in all cases.
